10:04 am
live from moscow and of khalid al sharmeen the editor of the al kurds online newspaper says the people of egypt have grown increasingly disillusioned with the politics of the muslim brotherhood. people who voted for him to be a good chance. it could be a lot of support both for most of the people who are out in the streets to the people in egypt now. religion and politics should be mixed clearly and some. would use. religion to get the support of the people and once we are. in. a very different view from what the been promising and that's. one of the reasons of the anger you are seeing two in three to egypt and americans want to insure and secure their interests in egypt right now neither the united nor
10:05 am
morsi himself how much what's happening to the people of egypt who are back in the streets. or the. now egypt was of the forefront of the pro-democracy uprisings in the middle east the us supported the revolts hoping barack obama's promise of change for the region would bear fruit however after a wave of anti american protests all the hopes his famous cairo speech trying to inspire apparently have been dashed out his fall asleep or investigates why i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world words of promise left field and region with hope. but as obama begins his second term in office his critics failed when the first term that fell far short expectations of progress on peace between israelis and palestinians remain stalled the promised
10:06 am
economic development of afghanistan never took root. and american relations with post mubarak egypt deteriorated and i didn't fifty the u.s. and elegance community has more or less thought that it was in control of something called the muslim brotherhood and they brought them from egypt into saudi arabia and i think they thought they could just break out of that was it how they could have. massed its army was or and their fight now that i'm not leaking oil is also. in libya the u.s. supported the intervention by nato and its allies telegin it is a great advance to blitz the cash management rights but the fallout from it ended with the death of the american ambassador and three other members of his staff the united states was overselling their so-called triumph over al-qaeda in a way that was really quite dishonest and dangerous because it
10:07 am
was essentially setting the united states up for situations where. elsewhere but still not just strong but getting stronger and was getting stronger because of policies that the united states had followed and it was washington's politics that did little to win palestinians over to obama's side washington was against the upgraded status of palestine at the united nations angering but not surprising and still i i would say that the people in general. stop thinking of him as a somebody who will do and all do us any favor or any good we realize that all our expectations which were very high turned out to be zero as a matter of fact islamophobia inside the united states is on the increase help to no small part of by the growing negative portrayal of the muslim world in the media
10:08 am
and hollywood recent polls show overall confidence in obama has dropped especially in muslim countries where it declined by nine percent in three years global approval of his international policies is also decreased from a positive rating of thirty four percent in the muslim world in two thousand and nine to just fifteen percent in two thousand and twelve. obama came just beautified the ugly face but bush left it's american interests that lead american presidents the only difference is that one president smiles the other doesn't. martin says to him as an american interest in the middle east are the problem it's not it's not issue it is it is a political issue and that's why i didn't have a lot of hope that the arab antipathy has not been softened by a promise of the arab spring or his military withdrawal from iraq few american presidents have lost a good standing with the arab world as quickly and as significantly as a bomber for him now to renew trust in america he'll have to do more than just
10:09 am
promise a new beginning in a cairo speech policy r.t. tel aviv. and at his coming here live from moscow former cia officer john kiriakou has been sentenced to two and a half years behind bars for leaking classified intelligence and supporters of called for the sentence to be reduced saying the real reason behind the punishment was simply him going public against washington's torture tactics but a federal judge rejected arguments he was acting as a whistleblower when he leaked a covert agents name to a reporter by e-mail kiriakou cia veteran retired in two thousand and four was a rather outspoken about the use of secret interrogations under waterboarding by the u.s. he could have been sentenced to eight years in prison and he not secured a plea deal with prosecutors author and activist sibel edmonds believes insiders will be targeted and punished for making a stand as long as u.s. authorities continue to cover up the wrong. we do see this type of
10:10 am
witch hunt action against those who leak information that exposes either government criminality or government waste fraud abuse so this is a selective behind he has had a single case where was the glorious happy success all by pursuing dogs so. all channels bringing remedies or solutions to these very big problems wrongdoings so when you have no channels there is only one option and that is to take that information and put it before the public whether it's through websites such as we see leaks or public citizens journalists because as you know mainstream media they act as the extension of the government here in the united states there are no other channels to go to and the public has their right to know and begin gag is a very important key point the public and i'm not talking about only people here in
10:11 am
the united states but all over the world because people are being a fact that they are the ones who are being criminalized. this is not talk about not just of. privacy check out the clothing that is in the skies if. you could see the cloak of invisibility. here on the. east be cool language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about seventy odd p. interviews intriguing stories for you to. see been trying. to find out more visit. wealthy british
10:12 am
style. markets find. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines you need to. see good luck or touring. to build a new most sophisticated. fortunately dorna found anything mission to teach me creation and why you should care about humans and. this is why you should care only. because this is and britain's at risk of slipping into recession for the third time
10:13 am
since the beginning of the global financial crisis four years ago the country's economy shrank by point three percent in the last quarter of twenty twelve and. cheve zero growth and the decline of the world's sixth largest economy was blamed on the recession in the eurozone bad weather affecting agriculture and a temporary drop in oil and gas output in the north sea and the country would find itself in a recession if the economy contracts again in the first quarter of twenty thirteen all the main global ratings agencies have placed britain on a negative watch the director of the institute of economic affairs in london mark littlewood says the government should have a very different approach to such a burning issue. of course we need to bear in mind when you look back actually a couple of years later often these numbers are revised up or down so we shouldn't really trust them to the very last decimal point what we've seen it appears over twenty twelve is not the british economy absolutely tanking but basically flat
10:14 am
lining and that is pretty much been the picture for the last two years it's not a crushing recession but it's certainly not a parent's back certainly what the coalition government here in the u.k. are doing isn't working if the item is to produce growth rates or two or three percent and indeed the government's independent forecasters suggested two years ago that we would be experiencing those sort of levels in growth in the u.k. economy about now i'm afraid that was turned out. but let's be clear about this austerity target that you saw a lot just saying that the u.k. government has persuaded itself and most of the media and all of their political opponents to get there is some savage program of spending cuts being undertaken in the united kingdom that's a long way from the truth when you actually look at the numbers of them the political rhetoric the government is cutting spending by about one percent a year pretty trivial amount and they are taking far far too long to bring the
10:15 am
budget back into balance but you also need i think a clearer plan but what's really going to attract business investment in the u.k. and what's going to make it easier for entrepreneurs. you know while the movers and shakers of the money world have been debating the future of the global economy at the annual forum in davos we caught up with russia's aluminum tycoon there a pascoe for an exclusive interview and the full version airing on sunday for now though a quick preview on what he has to say about russia's economic reality. russia not just my russia not just resource sector you know russia is the ways to put you into you know from what you are still to be those from a good culture to a t. so of course you know. we should have been a better financial system but no one could grow it up mushroom it's not enough to there were a. financial system it's a commitment that was a country coming from the state institutions sent to the. people who
10:16 am
broke the infrastructure for the markets for the market you already. know the view on oprah today to some beginner this is what we should do and it's not foreign in the us and it's not so you know for you know for foreign media or i know it's our homework and we haven't started yet. i will get to the r.t. world update shortly but for now the loudest thing coming from the historic baikonur cosmodrome of late has not been the roar of russian rockets but rather a raul were over their environmental impact kazakhstan's demands are now threatening to derail russia's entire space program there just a bit earlier in the program i spoke to arsene is. about the story. baikonur has been the launch pad for soviet and russian space exploration program of course
10:17 am
men's first ever space flight took off from that very base but now from that a lustrous past it's facing an uncertain future with speculation it could even be abandoned now most course currently leasing the cosmodrome for a hefty annual fee of over one hundred million dollars but it's fears of environmental damage that's causing concern for the more specifically they are concerned over the launch of proton rockets which with the fuel tanks which are shared by the craft after liftoff containing traces of rocket fuel which would you believe it is highly toxic but for moscow's point of view the huge annual rental fee together with the jobs provided to local people make the leasing arrangements a highly positive one for us tonight but just days ago both the russian and kazakh foreign ministers tried to gloss over any signs of friction they have assured the media that any so-called space war is not happening and a mutual agreement has been reached for the future between the two countries many people know nasa budget has certainly been slashed by washington although india and
10:18 am
china have got surging space programs we know that russia really has the busiest space program in the world that must mean they have some we must have some pretty big plans for the near or not too distant future russia does keep its options open first of all the are working on the new cosmodrome which is called of us torch me it means eastern in russian and as you may have guessed it's going to be located in the far east near the border with china and the construction has begun just two years ago and russian space agency has caused most. should have two of its launch pads fully operational by twenty fifteen twenty eighteen at the latest and that will mark the beginning of the most and step for the country's space exploration program in decades to the moon by twenty twenty says of course most adding they were. to establish lunar bases and finish it all off with a manned trip to mars by twenty thirty and if these plans seem too otherworldly to
10:19 am
you well they certainly do not look as such to the russian government which has approved a budget of true trillion rubles that's roughly seventy five billion dollars for the space industry until twenty twenty. starting with venezuela into the r.t. world out there we go a brutal prison riot has reportedly left at least fifty people dead in northwestern venezuela. last my daughter has the incident as a tragedy but there's been no confirmation of the exact number of casualties the rioting erupted after local media reported the troops had been sent to prison to search for weapons the jail has seen a record number of violent incidents and is considered the most dangerous in the country. french forces have taken control of the airport in the northern mali and capital of gal it's an islamist stronghold comes after mali's government regain control of the city of hama border with the help of french troops as they attempt to retake the northern part of the country from rebels parasols the military
10:20 am
intervention in mali will continue for as long as is necessary. and government killed two soldiers and abducted three more in the western iraq the city of the attack appears to be in retaliation to a shooting by government troops on sunni protesters about that five people dead in schools wounded on friday that violence erupted when the army tried to prevent a worshipers coming out of friday prayers from joining the anti government demonstration. washington is looking to beef up the number of drones manning the skies over the u.s. to tens of thousands by twenty twenty and all of that in the name of national security but a bigger brothers forcing many americans to search for creative ways to protect their civil liberties to use anastasio to chuck and i went to report. keeping a close eye on civilians with a little help from drones. in a move approved by congress in seven years the u.s.
10:21 am
will help thirty thousand master drones monitoring its territory from the air that opens the door for a lot of duces of privacy from not just the government but corporations and businesses too. in a fight for privacy this new york designer came up with a counter-surveillance clothing line intended to shield people from those watchful lenses a burka a scarf and of hooty are the key garments in the collection this is a garment that's designed to be firmly reflective which means that he bounces off it and he just wants to use for thermal imaging and particular this technology is used a lot on drones and he would use if there were drawings harboring about money hi. anybody who is out on the street is clearly traceable the idea of this collection is that putting on something like this. music but are. these parts of your body become very hard to detect. from a potential fashion statement to
10:22 am
a technology that could eventually be used in rescue operations or even on a battlefield i think are just thing. a market hasn't been addressed yet it's a new area and it's sort of a crossover between tactical and fashion it adds a little extra coverage to the face out of harvey calls his consumer market unfashionably paranoid if you appear to me and i can see you i'm quite alright with that but if you appear in an automated systems and how it becomes a little more to your disadvantage because this data can be easily mine and tracked and identified another counter-surveillance item in the collection the off pocket for a phone once a mobile device is put inside there are no more signals going in and out the strength of the cell phone signal out of one hundred goes down to zero in seconds the metalized fabric and that acts as a third in a cage to block the signals from the bottom says this is
10:23 am
a faster way to turn off your phone and block trucking since the introduction of the patriot act and since then there's been a large erosion of privacy i would say is not. confined to the us either and this is a global problem to start a conversation and make people more aware of the growing trend of surveillance through fashion is adam's goal the designer admits the clothing line is not for everybody but those who want to adapt to these new realities could now be a step closer to avoiding the gaze of big brother and state you're going to party new york. it's fall sharing a crime or perhaps a vital online necessity but if it's raging for years and the u.s. government trying to hold the exchange of digital content for free sees a new resident went out to gauge opinion.
10:24 am
kim dot com just launched his new file sharing service mega he says by using it you're saying yes to internet freedom is file sharing the future of the internet this week let's talk about that have you ever stolen a movie or music off the internet i plead the fifth i'll take that as a yes if you think that anything wrong with that you know why do people get very angry about it and send people to jail that are not the problem is that they're being wrong is that people who need to make money don't make their money. should they just figure out a new way is it up to them or is that up to us to stop taking it. have you never stolen anything off the web for moral reasons or just because you never have never have you know how to if it were easy and you did know how to would you do it more often if i knew how to do it i mean criminals every day doing bad things with expelling you know should it be free should music in movies be free no not autistic
10:25 am
or social by you but should go to jail for that i don't think people take it as serious as the governmentally rodeos takes it's of we should we should we take it more serious hard to ease up when you know it's it's music but it's not money coming out of your pocket like it has out of the artists or directors or studios or whatever. i don't know mobile size of the phone so i think it's been. sort of issue it really is what it is how do we stop people from stealing no if it's so easy i think they need to appreciate the arts and media and they will appreciate and steal music yeah i think it's better to give a dollar to the arts than you know a politician or your government yeah of course there are cigarettes but maybe if some of it will go to some kind of donation maybe it will inspire people to do so do you think though that you know the future is going to have a whole different landscape for intellectual property that will view it differently
10:26 am
like it's kind of everyone's i don't know i haven't really thought about it i mean i guess if you write a song you'd still yours so you should still have get credit for it at least ninety nine cents and yet so much as you should get something whether or not you think file sharing is the future of the internet the bottom line is enough people do it to pose a serious threat to current business models. our to thank you for watching today here on our team my colleague bill daughter's here in half an hour's time but next it's a break in the set with abby martin in just a moment.
